Bummer.Robin, did you know that his wife Terri was born in Eugene?Terri was born in Eugene, Oregon in the United States. Her family was in the trucking business. As a small child, Terri was exposed to her father constantly bringing home injured animals from the highways which his trucks traversed and this was to eventually instill in her an ongoing commitment to saving and rehabilitating wild animals.

My generation dealt with Superman dying, the next generation not only lost Superman, they lost Croc Hunter who was also their superman. He sure left his mark on society and will be missed by young and old.

Wednesday, February 21, 2007 less than four months after the voters said NO on the public safety tax initiative in Lane County,
Lane County Commissioners Faye Stewart, Bobby Green, and Bill Dwyer
took it upon themselves to decide that the need was greater than the will of the people and ENACTED the tax anyway.

Being in the United States illegally and hiring illegal

Things to PonderIf homeland security works so well, then how did 20 million successfullycross our borders undetected?

Consumer Alert! if you're looking to obtain an Associates degree in computer science, at all costs avoid Lane Community College (LCC) Computer Information Technology (CIT) program. Graduates (including myself) in a private survey agreed that the education was substandard, not focused on the degree and not worth the money spent. ($23,000 in student loans my case)so if you're contemplating a career in computers, I would highly suggest a private college such as ITT in Portland, or PPC in Springfield, where they have to be accountable to their students in order to maintain their accreditation. additionally, private colleges such as ITT offer programs to graduates for example, taking refresher courses at no additional charge... job services... etc.remember, it's your money, your time and your future career do your research, ask questions such as how much of the program is spent towards the training itself and not just the degree(yes there is a difference) and decide for yourself.
